Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Feeder not connecting to Wi-Fi | Incorrect app used; incorrect Wi-Fi band; weak signal. | Ensure you are using the 'PETLIBRO' app (not 'PETLIBRO LITE'). Verify your router supports 2.4GHz or 5GHz and your phone is connected to the correct band during setup. Move the feeder closer to your router. |
| Food not dispensing | Food jam; empty food tank; power issue. | Check for food blockages in the dispenser. Refill the food tank if empty. Ensure the feeder is powered on and connected to a power source. The anti-jamming sensor should prevent continuous issues. |
| Camera not showing clear image/night vision not working | Low light conditions; camera lens obstructed. | Night vision is infrared and activates automatically in low light. Ensure the camera lens is clean and unobstructed. |
| No notifications received | App notification settings disabled; feeder not connected to Wi-Fi. | Check your smartphone's notification settings for the PETLIBRO app. Ensure the feeder has a stable Wi-Fi connection. |
| Video recording not working | No TF card inserted; TF card full or faulty. | Insert a compatible TF card (up to 256GB). Check if the TF card is full and delete old recordings or replace the card. |
